No problem. The main reason is because Heygal is watching. Trust me, each and every transaction goes through their software and they have measures in place to track these things. I have had friends lose literally thousands over this and even smaller "issues".

Gift method is just that. It's a gift. If you are purchasing something then you should pay the fees. That's simple business. It is NOT a loophole. They are 2 different things and that is the way Heygal sees them as well.

Too many "gifts" will get flagged. To receive the number of payments in a usual GB you must have a business account. This allows you some lower fees (sadly, not much lower). If you have a business account and get a lot of gifts to it, trust me, it gets looked at very closely. They will shut it down quick and since they are not a bank, the likely hood of getting the money that's in there is very slim.

Makes total sense. Thanks Wayne.
